You might be shocked to hear that more than 1 in 3 people who turn to Pieta in crisis are under the age of 18. Most of them are just teenagers. And some are still in primary school.

Ireland’s youth suicide rate is higher than the international average. Every day, we see that suicide and self-harm are real and urgent issues for our young people.

This year, our No More Silence campaign is about making sure young people know Pieta is here for them too. And, together with you, it’s about making suicide and self-harm prevention a priority for children.

Too many people still don’t know Pieta supports people young or old. Too many don’t realise that help is here, and that it works.

But we can’t do this alone.

We need people to speak out, to make sure every child knows help is here. Please help us make suicide and self-harm prevention a priority. Sign this petition to add your voice and share with your friends and family. Thank you.
